Spin-off novel - sh** Steve, that's a good one - I keep my fingers crossed for you! Aren't you a mystery novelist? This could be the Big One for you if all works out.
Good stuff Steve - are you pitching for Avatar 2? By the looks of it, it's not a script for sure. As to your question, I skimmed most of your draft book / script, but how did Jake and Neytiri end up on the polar, and couldn't they just fly out on their banshees? The 'monster' looks / sounds a bit like an underground vulcanic explosion with firy blasts coming down here and there. Who knows what or who lives in the sub-arctic regions of Pandora? Are there even such regions? ;-)
Kaltxì everyone - here's an interesting video about the sound in Avatar: http://soundworkscollection.com/avatar Continue reading
